What’s on the horizon:
I am enthusiastic about the ongoing transformation into New IT. With the vast amount of opportunities that digitalization provides, clients have huge business potential by being fast movers and disrupters of current models. Intellectual curiosity and constant learning are required. At the same time, this places high demands on organizations in terms of speed of change and ability to successfully take and manage risks. One of my favorite quotes is: “An ounce of performance is worth pounds of promises” (Mae West). A rapid and agile delivery of new capabilities “ounce by ounce” is the road to future.
